IN THE LANE.
And art thou then, my heart. too old
Ever 10 leap with love agsin,
T0 feel the stEozR blood torFsnt rolled
Through The heaVine breast and tenn

Il Il no more, my heart, for thee.
Life's one unquestionee ecstasyg
Are faded quite those dim. far days
When music moEheKed every sound.
When 90 and down yoath's happy ways
kared gioTIes 90 eternal Foundf
Has chill Of years killed every Joy
That blossomed for one wondeFina boyI
These are the trees oncs known 20 veil
We fsls 10 them all bat bekn0wn;
Their very shadow We could tell
From others By the forest thrown.
The same glad songs from bush and
bouzh-
Az once We heard, We hear them nov.
And these sweet flowers beneath my feet,
Their young eyes greet as a. Of YoFe.
The hope, there still they think to
meet
Her glance that shall not answer more:
To rs alone Il cannot be
They're locking up 30 tenderly.
This is the same gray path We took
Behind the slowly RsinR day;
As they do nov, the light leaves shook
When evening bFeezss blew this way;
And there's the glow upon the dome,
And here The COWS are coming home.
All, no. good heart, thou still canst stir.
Still lives the love first bid thee leap;
Ssill sEe We At the side Of Der
They laid away meath y0ndsr steep.
Though elods be on her aud q stone,
In the dear old lans we're BOT alone.

The streets present 9 busy appear
apos, trade appears TO have received an
impetus. and men Of business are 60
lively engaged in new spring ventures,
bat an uRnistaksble quiet reigns in so
oial circles. There is tome transformations
entertaining aud the usual unsssamine
display OF informal hospitality, bat the
conventional requirements imposed
upon society at this season Of the year
seem 10 be generally observed through
out the city. The second week Of Lent
has been as uneventfal as the first; and
IL is probable that there will be few, II
any, noteworthy occurrences among
society people until Easter has come
and gone.
OUR MILITIA.
The three local militia companies OF

at the second street ArmoFy on Toes

large attendance Of spectators 10 the
galleries. many Of the lady friends and

dioate that the interest Of OuE young
men Ia the militia service has not abated
or been diminished The drilling was
not worthy OF special eommendAtion.
bat this may perhaps be accounted for
by the fact that the companies have not
exercised for 20 ne months. Toe Rifles
displayed considerable proficiency la
the manual exercise. but the regularity
and precision Of movement % the three

Loud talking stepping from the ranks
unoFdered, juggling with muAkalN and
general lsvity in demeaueF are not to be
found Ia organizations that are properly
and efficiently drilled. Moreover, II
may not be amiss 10 say that men In the
